Be it known that LEDWARD KIRMss,a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, (Manhattan,) county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole Tips, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a curtain-pole tip which is not apt to tilt upon the pole and is provided with a reinforcing-bushing contained within the hollow of the tip and securely interlocked therewith.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved curtain-pole tip, showing it mounted upon the end of the pole. Fig. 2 is a section through the shell, Fig. 3 a section through the bushing, and Fig. 4 a section through the complete tip, showing the pole in side view.

The letter a represents a shell which is of spherical or other form and has a perforation a. Around this perforation the body of the shell is turned inward to form a flange 60 that projects into the hollow of the shell. Within of the flange, as at 6 so as to securely in- The outer end of this terlock the bushing with the flange. The curtain-pole A is introduced with its end into the bushing and is ofa diameter to snugly fit the same. A spring-catch 0 on the pole bears against the end of sleeve Z) and prevents the withdrawal of the pole from the shell a.

It will be seen that in my improved tip the bearing for the pole-i. (2., the flange a and bushing b-is contained within the hollow of the shell, that the beveled ring reinforces the holed edge of the shell, and that the bushing is'folded bodily around the inner edge of the flange and is securely interlocked therewith.
